Frequently asked

Questions from Portomaso owners

How do sitters access Portomaso buildings?
Most sitters store a key with the building concierge or use a registered key safe. Discuss access at the meet-and-greet so the routine is dialled in before the first booking.
Are there yacht-crew sitters?
Yes. Several Portomaso sitters specifically handle yacht-crew rotations, with recurring drop-in visits aligned to charter schedules. Many run multi-cat bookings during the long summer crews.
Where do Portomaso dogs walk?
The marina perimeter walk is short but flat and quiet. Most longer walks head to the nearby Pembroke garigue or up to Madliena Ridge.
How do sitters handle the summer heat in Portomaso?
By moving the day around it. Walks go early in the morning and again after sunset, pavements get checked with a hand before a dog is taken out on them, and the middle of the day is for shade, water and quiet indoors. Agree the timings with your St Julians sitter when you book, and say so if your dog is a flat-faced breed or an older one that struggles in the heat.
What do I need to have in order before booking in Portomaso?
Your dog should be microchipped and on the national register, which is required in Malta under the Electronic Identification of Dogs Regulations. Beyond that, give your Portomaso sitter the vet you use, the feeding routine, and a note of how your dog behaves with other dogs on a narrow street, which comes up more in St Julians than in most places.
What does Petme cover in Portomaso?
Verified pet sitters offering boarding, in-home sitting, drop-in visits and dog walks across Portomaso. Every booking includes €20,000 Protection Plan at no extra cost.
Is there a booking fee?
No. Petme charges 0% to pet owners. The rate on the sitter's profile is exactly what you pay at checkout.
